"Let's go spin some discs" . . . "That's not a tagline" hahaha, Dude, I literally laughed out loud, rewound it, and laughed again. I"ll buy it if you put in on a shirt, but it has to be the entire quote. I bagged a Harp for about 3 years and then recently went to a Zone. I love that it's still stable, but has some decent glide too. It feels great in the hand as well.
Thanks for the nice review. Was good the see the flights that quickly back to back for comparison. You did a great job, especially on the shorter distance, of releasing them all the same.
I super appreciate your honest reviews of the discs. I haven't been a long time viewer, but you seem like such an honest guy. I hit my first (and only) hole in one with my zone, so im also biased, but you may be my favorite disc golfer yet, purely because of your grind and dedication to the sport
@@EzraAderholdDG the fact that you responded to my comment too, and so quick none the less. You are now my favorite disc golfer. Do you like brodie Smith or Paul mcbeth more? I will make it my mission to get you featured on their channels
@@majorstorm9 haha awesome man!! Ooh that's a tough question, I don't really know either of them well enough to make a decision 🤷♂️. Collabing with either one would be sweet!!
@@EzraAderholdDG sounds like Paul would be the easy choice then, ill see what I can do haha. Just remember me when you get to be on the level of Paul, Simon, Eagle, or Calvin. Send me a disc when you get there. I bet you'll be there in no time
Great breakdown! I only started flicking mids in the past 2 years because the Bard. I bagged it because it's super predictable in a headwind. It comes out clean with minimal flutter on forehand throws. Can't play w/o it!
Really enjoyed watching this video. I like how you went through one specific characteristic (ie grip, stability, etc.) for every disc before moving on to the next characteristic. I’ve been flicking a Discmania P3X and have been considering trying a couple of the discs that you tested. Great timing. Keep killing it on the course too! You’re a favorite up and comer to watch!
@@EzraAderholdDG you know what would be a cool video idea? seeing how far you can throw discs that are said to be impossible to throw far ex. the berg and the tilt
Cool to see you crushing the A2. When I switched over to prodigy, I immediately fell in love, it's a point and shoot disc. Underrated for sure in the overstable approach convo.
Solid work and great reviews as always. Not only are you giving pro style results because of your form and spin but also showcasing many brands. Be well, be safe, and keep up the great work
E-Z-R-A out here spinning discs in his Sunday best, looking classy as a mint julep! 🤣 I completely agree. Zones just feel "right" to me. I don't want anything deep dish for a forehand. The A2 is a great disc, feels great, love Prodigy plastics, but actually more OS than I'm long for.
@JT's Discgolf my 300 A2 is somehow more overstable than my 400 A2 lol. It's beating in nicely though and it still very overstable. comes out when the wind is too heavy for the tactic to handle.
I use a Star or Pro Shark both ~175 grams for my main approach disc as well as for driving putter and windy day putter, a #2 Upshot in Prostyle from Lighting for the slightly US approach shot, currently from 2005 a 166 gram one only but have a fairly new from 2020 175 gram for the neutral shot slot the Pro Shark currently has. When the Pro Shark ends up US, I will get the max weight #2 Upshot in prostyle a go for my neutral slot, the disc is due to weight and use that next tick more neutral then the older disc due to both weight and use.
The A2 is like the firebird of approach discs. Super great feel, super overstable. Really consistent. Great speed control. It’s not as fast as a mid and not as slow as a putter even like a harp. Digs well. And then you can get it in 300 (base) plastic and it is similar but not as beefy and sticks better. And then they have the pa1 in 400 which is great for the slower overstable putter upshots (I use the pa3 in 400 and it flies the same but feels better to me because I putt with it.) Also, between the zone, harp, and tactic, they are similar but their wing shape is all pretty different. It’s interesting and i’m glad there is variety
Is Ezra going to be THE most sought after free agent this offseason? I don't get a huge chance to see him on DGN coverage but the OTB Skins I've seen he looks like he absolutely belongs with the best players in the world. Love getting a chance to check out some more shots from him. Just an absolute effortless crusher.
I love my pig more than any approach disc. It grab the grass and dirt better than the rest! I do find myself throwing my zone off the tee more often, though. Speaking about zones, I like that yellow 5x claw you got! Super nice!
It's so hard to do disc comparison videos like this, because feel is such a big part of it, and it's so subjective. I like that you threw them all back to back to compare the flights, that was helpful. I like the videos, hope to see you on lead card coverage!
Enjoyed the video. I have a power forehand, 350+, but I tend to turn my wrist over and and experience shoulder and elbow pain when throwing a lot of them. Video on how to correctly throw a power forehand?
Maybe at some point, although there are other pros to look at that I would recommend for a good forehand over myself. Jeremy Koling and Eagle McMahon come to mind. Eagle has a really good video about forehand
@@EzraAderholdDG Berg isn't a great forehand disc imo. Should definitely keep in mind for backhand approach discs tho! A Zone in K3 plastic would be like the perfect disc
The Wysocki Pig (if you can get it) is a flatter top Pig. Much better for forehand throws, but difficult to get. I'm primarily RHFH and just cannot throw the R-Pro Pig very well, but the Wysocki Pig is great...just difficult to find, so I've gone to the DGA Breaker for that spot in my bag.
Thanks for the review. I tend to use the Harp or the Anvil...Anvil is even more beefy than the Harp and in the VIP plastic it's more of my go to forehand approach...even though technically I think they call it a midrange.
Hey Ezra, found you from the prius living vid. Never watched disc golf before but just binge watched all your vlogs. Love your lifestyle, also cracked up a few times. Keep it up man, persistence is key! I would also be interested in the staples of your diet since youre vegan and on the road. I know the beans and chips, but e.g. what does breakfast or lunch look like?
Hey! Sweet that's cool to hear! Lately I've just been eating a couple apples for breakfast, tacos for lunch and sometime supper, or peanut butter and honey sandwiches for supper. If I had a van with a fridge then I would like to incorporate more fruits and veggies and other dishes, for now this works tho. I do plan on making a video talking about my diet and exercise at some point. Thanks again for watching 🤙
Fantastic video, especially for someone like me when pondering which disc to purchase. I've been thinking about getting a zone and this confirmed that it is the right disc to get. Any opinion on what the best plastic is? I was thinking of getting an esp, beats in grippy and is somewhat middle of the way in terms of stability from what I've seen.
Thanks, I'm glad it's useful! Zone is great, I have two, both in Z plastic. I haven't really tried esp but I know people like it. Probably can't go wrong with any plastic
This is sick thanks. Personally I'm obsessed with avair X3 have three in the bag. I tease my friends and tell them they have this new innovative technology from Innova "basket hunting" patent pending cause Everytime I throw an avair 3 even if it's a bad release it finds a way to give me a put lmao
Great vid. Results seemed right on with what I've tried and experienced with those discs. It makes sense to use the most popular discs; however, I'd take a Tomb, Rhyno, Chief, or Spider over the Zone any day. Perhaps the A2 needs more consideration.
Great vid. Personally I use A2, Justice and Jokeri and on my seriously handicapped forehand Justice has best flutter resistance where even though A2 is more over stable when release and spin are good it may be disappointing at times when throwing headwind with less that premium forehand. I would appreciate video with tips on how to throw different angles with forehand and preserve spin on the disc and good release. For me hyzer release is mostly good but flat or anhyzer flutters like crazy which makes discs fall out of the sky and even more so when trying to get some torque to get distance.
I've been using the aviarX3 for a while. I have one in Star and one in Luster. The luster is very similar to the zone, just doesn't go as far (one less speed and glide), but the star is straight but can only handle so much power. After this video I compared aviarX3 and zone and I immediately bought a z zone and a rubber blend zone. Thanks man!
Great video, but I’ve noticed that glide is also different between dinner of these discs. Maybe consider comparing that, as well as how they come out of a flex line for upshots. I cycle between a Zone and a Pig now, and I used to throw a Harp, and they do have subtle differences. The Pig also seems to sit better for me on the ground, whereas the Zone gives more skip, but that’s probably due to the plastic
Nice video! I love my harps. Perfectly beat in putter line harp will go straight for ever. More of these types of videos maybe comparing similar fairways to raptors and firebirds from all companies.
I bag both an aviarx3 and a razor caw tactic. I love the aviarx3 more for backhand. It's too deep for me for forehands, that's why I have the tactic. But for backhand approaches I actually really like the deeper rim. I seem to get a bit cleaner release with the x3 than the tactic when throwing backhand.
Great review. I have the Zone, Justice, and Harp, but have an A2 on the way. However, I use them only for backhand since my forehand is nonexistent. The Zone and Justice feels better in the hand for me than the Harp, but you can't go wrong with either discs.
If we're already subscribed and like your videos, what's the next best way to support you on tour? Big fan of your game and and your content. Keep up the hard work!
Thanks for subbing! That's about it for now, hopefully when I get sponsored I can get a signature disc, that will be a good way then👍. Thanks for wanting to support me😁
@@EzraAderholdDG I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a sponsorship if you keep playing and growing like you are. Hit me up if you're ever playing in Southern Oregon and I'll buy you a solid breakfast or a bag of beans 😂
Flutter= off axis torque. Off axis torque is force translated onto the disc that isn’t in line with its flight (ie an upward or downward force when you’re throwing the disc flat). The main way to combat this is to have more spin on the disc as Ezra said and to also have your follow through in line with the plane you’re throwing.
@@joshdowden494 Exactly, watch RIcky Wysocki's forehand shots and you'll see during the follow through he keeps his hand turned up and the follow through is in line with the plane he's throwing.
As someone who throws the same zone you should try a Dynamic Disc Justice if you’re looking for an overstable mid. I have a 750 A2 as well and the Justice is the most fun disc I’ve thrown in a while. The flex lines you can throw with that thing are obscene. I like it too because I can throw it in a lighter weight and still get the overstable finish I want without putting as much strain on my arm (I throw it in 167 and it’s still straight beef).
Would love to see a similar video for Overstable drivers! Theyre all so similar (like these slower approach discs) but the feel, torque resistance, and overstability would be great to have reviewed all together like this.
This was really cool to watch. I definitely wanna see a pro do this video again considering Innova has started to make a comparable approach disc. Really excited to see how the Toro flies.. I personally really love the AviarX3. Most that do get it in star or champion plastic. Unfortunately that is super hard to find these days, though it might be easier with the help of Big Jerm getting his signature X3. The DX plastic makes the mold horrendous.
I use the star plastic for the aviar x3. It’s not really something I use for my forehand basically because of the feel of the disc in the hand. However, in my opinion the disc is great for accurate backhands, and it will hold the line and angle you release on with a late overstable finish.
@@EzraAderholdDG something great about disc golf is that there are so many different discs and approaches you can take to get the shot you really want. It also takes so much time to learn all of the different aspects of the game, and I appreciate videos like yours because they help me learn so much that I wouldn’t know about the sport on my own. Keep it up! 👍
Hey Ezra, I find my forehands at a short range tend to turn and flutter more then when I throw a drive. Do you have any tips? Mostly approach with a buzzz.
Thanks Ezra, I went to the field and tried to minimize my arm movement and use more wrist. Now I have a new shot to use! Thanks again and amazing round at The Canyon!!!
Thanks for the video brother! What plastic is the A2 in this video? I am a huge Zone fan. Have two in ESP and a Earhart Tour Series Elite Z but to be honest I want an approach disc that's even more overstable. Thanks in advance!
Loveee the zone. I’m a zoner! Also serious personal question and I only ask his because I’m a son of a speech pathologist, but are you working with someone or on your own, with your R sounds?
A "Zoner" 😂😂, that's great. I have never gone to an actual pathologist. I've spent very little time trying to fix it on my own, it is something I want to reverse tho for sure, I just have to be more dedicated.
@@EzraAderholdDG makes total sense, thanks for the response! I have been enjoying watching you this year, was unaware before, but definitely a new fan! Peace from Oregon!
Try a Kea in Magma hard plastic for forehand. Atomic or cosmic for your backhands. Driver wise check out our Kotare, You will crush it. OTB should have some.
I haven't seen that but yeah there are some other guys I know of as well. Drew is probably the only really big name pro that throws open bag tho so maybe that's what they were saying 🤷♂️
@@EzraAderholdDG Thanks! Can you do a building a complete bag video? I'm fairly new and realize I have a lot of overlap in my discs. It would be very helpful! You're the man.
@@dtierdiscgolf I'll probably do something like that when I got sponsored by a manufacturing company and have to switch to all they're stuff🤙. Every bag will be different for everyone tho since we all have different game play 👍
Definitely more of these! Stable midranges or fairways next?

"the Pig was also pretty beefy"

Great review. I have the Zone, Justice, and Harp, but have an A2 on the way. However, I use them only for backhand since my forehand is nonexistent. The Zone and Justice feels better in the hand for me than the Harp, but you can't go wrong with either discs.
If we're already subscribed and like your videos, what's the next best way to support you on tour? Big fan of your game and and your content. Keep up the hard work!
Thanks for subbing! That's about it for now, hopefully when I get sponsored I can get a signature disc, that will be a good way then👍. Thanks for wanting to support me😁
@@EzraAderholdDG I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a sponsorship if you keep playing and growing like you are.
Hit me up if you're ever playing in Southern Oregon and I'll buy you a solid breakfast or a bag of beans 😂
@@christianmengel8354 hopefully man! Awesome, beans sounds great😂
Any tips on reducing flutter, in terms of form?
I would say to just start throwing it like really short distance and really trying to focus on spinning it clean
Also throw flippy discs and get them to not turn over. work that clean form in and then you can speed it up later
Flutter= off axis torque. Off axis torque is force translated onto the disc that isn’t in line with its flight (ie an upward or downward force when you’re throwing the disc flat). The main way to combat this is to have more spin on the disc as Ezra said and to also have your follow through in line with the plane you’re throwing.
@@joshdowden494 Exactly, watch RIcky Wysocki's forehand shots and you'll see during the follow through he keeps his hand turned up and the follow through is in line with the plane he's throwing.
Try prodiscus jokeri my man!
As someone who throws the same zone you should try a Dynamic Disc Justice if you’re looking for an overstable mid. I have a 750 A2 as well and the Justice is the most fun disc I’ve thrown in a while. The flex lines you can throw with that thing are obscene. I like it too because I can throw it in a lighter weight and still get the overstable finish I want without putting as much strain on my arm (I throw it in 167 and it’s still straight beef).
Yeah the Justice is great!
How about Kastaplast K1 Kaxe ?
Really feel like I want to get an A2. Love the prodigy lineup.
Would love to see a similar video for Overstable drivers! Theyre all so similar (like these slower approach discs) but the feel, torque resistance, and overstability would be great to have reviewed all together like this.
Stay tuned!
@@EzraAderholdDG Just clicked subscribe :)
@@frisbeefrolf sick!!! Just posted a video like this with fairways 🤙
Subbed. Love this format. I think 'Let's spin some discs' may be taken. How about 'Let's get to the choppa!'
Sweet! Haha perfect
Which A2 plastic are you using Ezra?
Thanks
Pete
Pretty sure it's 750
The feel of the Zone & Tactic were strange at first, but once you figure out the torque they can handle, never go back
This was really cool to watch. I definitely wanna see a pro do this video again considering Innova has started to make a comparable approach disc. Really excited to see how the Toro flies..
I personally really love the AviarX3. Most that do get it in star or champion plastic. Unfortunately that is super hard to find these days, though it might be easier with the help of Big Jerm getting his signature X3. The DX plastic makes the mold horrendous.
The MVP reactor is my fav approach disc. It's almost like a putter but fits in the hand perfect for forehand.
I use the star plastic for the aviar x3. It’s not really something I use for my forehand basically because of the feel of the disc in the hand. However, in my opinion the disc is great for accurate backhands, and it will hold the line and angle you release on with a late overstable finish.
Ok cool, yeah I didn't really try it back hand but it could definitely be good
@@EzraAderholdDG something great about disc golf is that there are so many different discs and approaches you can take to get the shot you really want.
It also takes so much time to learn all of the different aspects of the game, and I appreciate videos like yours because they help me learn so much that I wouldn’t know about the sport on my own. Keep it up! 👍
@@SpecOpsCM definitely!! There is so much variety and creativity that sets it apart from other sports. I'm glad you like the videos!!
Thank you
Hey Ezra, I find my forehands at a short range tend to turn and flutter more then when I throw a drive. Do you have any tips? Mostly approach with a buzzz.
I would say to really focus on trying to spin the disc with your wrist at the slow speeds
Thanks Ezra, I went to the field and tried to minimize my arm movement and use more wrist. Now I have a new shot to use! Thanks again and amazing round at The Canyon!!!
@@Maxtastic101 awesome, I'm glad to hear it helped!! Thanks!!
I love how the AciarX3 flies....but I HATE how it feels in my hand. It’s like there is a sharpness to the underside that makes me sad.
I switched from that to the zone, u should try it
I think I actually have a zone in my disc box, I’ll break it out and go spin-it-up, thanks for the advice!
Thanks for the video brother! What plastic is the A2 in this video? I am a huge Zone fan. Have two in ESP and a Earhart Tour Series Elite Z but to be honest I want an approach disc that's even more overstable. Thanks in advance!
750! Ok cool! I would also recommend an Anvil, very overstable as well I believe
@@EzraAderholdDG sweeeeet
Can someone please step up and sponsor this man! Awesome content dude.
Other than OTB which props to them for sponsoring haha.
In good time haha, I don't want to rush into anything 🤙
I dunno if I could get used to the "thumb track" on the pig... I got an Aviarx3 on the way
What was the plastic on the A2
750
Ok thanks
What do you think would be better just getting the 750 or should I get 750g
@@stephendurning8281 not sure, I don't know enough about prodigys plastics unfortunately
@@EzraAderholdDG ok np
Get it Ezra!
My tactic more specifically my razor claw 2 is a get out of jail free card. Forehand and backhand always a reliable fade
Looking forward to you dominating the tour within the next 2 years. You heard it here first.
oh, ok nostradamus
Ezra's biceps out here am I right? ;) Thanks for the video man!
Haha🤘. Absolutely man, I enjoyed making it!
Loveee the zone. I’m a zoner! Also serious personal question and I only ask his because I’m a son of a speech pathologist, but are you working with someone or on your own, with your R sounds?
A "Zoner" 😂😂, that's great. I have never gone to an actual pathologist. I've spent very little time trying to fix it on my own, it is something I want to reverse tho for sure, I just have to be more dedicated.
@@EzraAderholdDG makes total sense, thanks for the response! I have been enjoying watching you this year, was unaware before, but definitely a new fan! Peace from Oregon!
@@jamalydude absolutely! Sweet!😁✌️
Great track on the montage
Thanks! I liked it too
You should try out an a4 in 750 the flatter the better. It's a really under rated disc imo!
Ok nice! I maybe will!
Try a Kea in Magma hard plastic for forehand. Atomic or cosmic for your backhands. Driver wise check out our Kotare, You will crush it. OTB should have some.
RPM Discs 👍🏼
Cool!! Thanks for the recommendation
i dont like how the pig feels but i have thrown it and it flew very nicely
Dude! We need more updates. Try a couple boring vlogs and see how we like it. I know I would lol! Super interested in your journey man!
I might start up the vlogs again at some point🤷♂️. Thanks man!
Did you throw these more than a few times?
Great content, I would've enjoyed seeing the Justice instead of the Aviar X3 though. Thank you for the video :-)
Thanks! The Justice is great! I would say it's the most similar to the A2
Thanks! The Justice is great! I would say it's the most similar to the A2
AviarX3 is a great backhand disc!
You need to try the harp in the VIP plastic it is money
Cool yeah I bet it'd be great!
Let's go SPIN SOME DISCS. Love it. Print it. Run it.
🤣🤣
I saw that video on jomez where they said that drew gibson was the only touring pro with a mixed bag...but....what about you??
I haven't seen that but yeah there are some other guys I know of as well. Drew is probably the only really big name pro that throws open bag tho so maybe that's what they were saying 🤷♂️
Solid form!!
Thanks!!🙌
Lol I use a aviar x3 might reconsider
Hey if it works it's fine, just want for me, everyone's different. I know Jeremy Koling uses it and decent at forehand 😉
@@EzraAderholdDG Thanks! Can you do a building a complete bag video? I'm fairly new and realize I have a lot of overlap in my discs. It would be very helpful! You're the man.
@@dtierdiscgolf I'll probably do something like that when I got sponsored by a manufacturing company and have to switch to all they're stuff🤙. Every bag will be different for everyone tho since we all have different game play 👍
